Sexworkers
United in Europe Insisting on being a Public Nuisance

5/20/06 - Private consenting
adult outcall sexwork is legal in almost all of Europe just like most of the
world. Incalls are legal with restrictions such as only 3 gals can be
working from a flat in the U.K, and incall laws vary in other parts of Europe.
But sexworker push in Europe just like the failed agenda in the U.S. is to
force street hookers to have the right to be a public nuisance.

As the Intenational Comittee
on the Rights of Sexworkers in Europe says, "Policies that aim to make sex
work invisible and that exclude sex workers from public places, add to the
stigma, the social exclusion and the vulnerability of sex workers. We reject
the double morals that allow prostitution only when it is hidden. All laws
and measures that undermine the dignity and self determination of sex workers
should be abolished. Sex workers have the right to represent themselves. They
should be part of any debate on laws, policies and measures that affect their
lives. Self organization of sex workers should be supported." More info

It is incredible to me these
groups demanding their "rights" to be a public nuisance and damn the people
living in street hooker /John infested neighborhoods who don't like being
solicited by Johns when walking to the corner store or having drug needles
in their yards.

There have been many attempts
in Europe to have "zones" which I have always supported out of residential
areas, but they have been a huge failure wherever they have been tried.

So now its back to the rights
of the street hooker to be a public nuisance, just like in the U.S.
As I often "preach", in the U.S. we will never gain support for private consenting
legal sexwork, not even outcall which is legal almost everywhere in the world
without significant problems, if those that supposedly represent sexworkers
insist on their "right" to be a public nuisance as street hookers.
